pdf could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences. This is what I get when I preview a PDF fillable form in FF. It loads Ok w/Explorer. It is a new site being developed so there is no url. My software tech says it is a FF problem

    This is a new error. There used to be no problem.

    Do you have any setting for MP3 in Tools > Options > Applications ?
    You usually need the QuickTime plugin to play MP3 files on Windows because that is the only plugin that supports that file extension if there is no MIME type specified to play the file with another plugin like Windows Media Player or RealPlayer.

    first, you just asked me to use MS file Explorer to see what the properties were.,..and to ask what happened. Yes - that's on my hard drive. The problem I have is opening word files in a DB that is web enabled.....I've used Firefox browser for that, and everything else , for years...... When I look at the Tools, and options on FireFox., as your support page noted.....NOTHING is listed in the Applications tab....hence my note asking for help. The file I need to open is a Word file out on a web enabled DB. It's not on my hard drive - I have to problems opening docs there - but for that, I don't use Firefox

  • I'm getting the message: C:\Users\Jane\AppData\Local\Temp\topics_politics_intermediate-11.mp3 could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences.

    At first I thought it was a broken file, but then realised it was all MP3s.
    The same MP3 downloads fine in Internet Explorer.
    Thanks.

  • RoboHelp air help application does not show pdf files

    Hello everyone,
    I hope this is the right place to post my problem.
    I am developing an air help application and I want to embedd some pdf files. I tried two different ways yet:
    1. A direct link to the pdf file (which is located in the project folder)
    2. An iframe
    In the topic preview both ways are working fine. But when I generate the application, it just shows a black page, where the pdf content should be.
    Thanks for your help.
    Holger

    Welcome to the forum.
    It is the right place to ask but it will not be the answer you want.
    Only links to HTML and Microsoft Office files are supported. Although it will not help you short term, the more people who report a bug or request a feature, the more likely it is to be actioned. Please follow this link.

  • Aperture exported version "could not be opened because it is empty"

    I just upgraded Aperture today.   It seemed to work well for editing the first 40+ photos.  I could make edits and, if desired, export the version to a USB drive.  After exporting about 10 photos succesfully, the process stopped working.  I did not change my process at all, but all subsequent exported photos have either had a grey picture thumbnail that opens as a solid grey picture or have had a generic "jpeg" thumbnail about which an error box opens stating, "The file xxx.jpg could not be opended because it is empty."   Does anyone know what the problem is? 

    Once again
    This is not the first time I've gotten this error message after using iPhoto. Before I post photos online, I edit them in iPhoto. Then, for the ease of uploading, I transfer them all to a folder I create on the desktop, and upload directly from there.
    HOw do you do this?
    We can try to help but we must know what is going on and what you have done - exactly How are you transferring the photos to a folder?
    It doesnt work that way either. Idk why. And I don't want to upload every single picture, just certain ones.
    And again - how does it not work?
    And using the media browser you select individual photos - you do not have to "upload every single picture"
    And now when I click on certain photos to enlarge them in iPhoto, the screen turns black; the picture disappears.
    And once again - what does this mean? Does a large ! appear or exactly what happens
    Ugh. There seems to be some sort of glitch, but I dont know.
    help us out and we can help you -we just are not mind readers
    and there are no "glitches" like this in iPhoto - it is probably either user error or a data problem

  • I want to upload a Banner to my iTunes U page. The banner file has all the requirements like as, kind, size, frame, and etc. Infortunately,  I could not upload the file. It does not show in Provider Page Configuration or the preview.   Someone could help

    Sounds like a driver issue. I never tested in bridge, so I could be wrong. But it sounds to me that when you are connected to that screen, your settings are not set to the full resolution of that screen.

  • Mail V6.3 pdf attachments "the file could not be opened because it is empty"

    I received an email with a pdf document attached.  When I try to open it by saving it or directly from the email, I get the message "The File 'filename' could not be opened because it is empty."
    The file extension is correct with .pdf. Adobe is up to date. It will not open in Preview either. No updates needed for Mac OS 10.8.3.

    Does this involve iPhoto in some way?

    My IPad 2, IPhone 3GS ans iPod  no longer work with apple TV, I have 2 apple TV in my house and for he last 3 weeks the iPod was the only one we could use for appleTV now none of them works, the apple TV icon does not show up any more. Re-started everything.

    Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
    RESPONSES:
    1)   When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC.  I simply used the same iTunes login and account.  I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store.  If I click "Download Previous Purchases"  text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
    2)   I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered.  I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam.  Good response for you.  Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome.  I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
    QUESTIONS:
    3)   So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download?  Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
    SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU... 
    I work in the computer support section for the Military.  The only problem is we use Windows , lol.  Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover.  I go back next month though I hope.  But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein.  Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself. 

  • While trying to access my local network I get the message..."The page could not be opened because server cannot be found."  This, after updating to Yosemite and paying (again) for the server app.

    It's absolutley scandalous that a company with Apple's resources can let this happen.  They should have staggered the release by region rather than opening the flood gates.  The upgrade itself took me about 10 attempts to download it, and then I thought I was home free.  That was until it rebooted and won't activate.  It's over 2 hours now.
    Scandalous!

    Something went wrong with your upgrade.
    Back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it.

    Where is the Library? It needs to be on a disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
